Now, for the first time since Sam Walton’s autobiography in the early 1990s comes a true insider’s account of how Wal-Mart became the institution it is now, how it has continued to grow throughout all economic slowdowns, and most importantly, how they have been able to remain a truly family-oriented organization that cares for its associates and customers equally.
In The Wal-Mart Way: The Inside Story of the Success of the World’s Largest Company
Using examples taken directly from his tenure working alongside of Walton, Soderquist looks to inspire leaders of all retail companies, from managers of local grocery stores to top executives at multi-national corporations. Mixing in some of the more unique aspects of Wal-Mart s business model with the more tried and true standards of corporate management, THE WAL*MART WAY is a guide that will become the instant standard for building a strong, successful organization, while maintaining high ethical standards.
Without becoming a simple history of Wal-Mart s success, Soderquist discusses the company s success by breaking down corporate growth into 12 sections:
- Growing Dreams
- Vision The Power to See What Others Don’t
- The Power of Culture
- People Make the Difference
- The Customer Is the Boss
- A Passion for Excellence
- The Execution Imperative
- Technology The Ultimate Change Agent
- Reinventing the Supply Chain
- Creating Supplier Relationships
- Never Stop Growing
- Good Neighbors
THE The Wal-Mart Way: The Inside Story of the Success of the World’s Largest Company
He had two simple goals in mind when he began the book. First, he wanted to share what he believes are Wal-Mart s key principles of success to anybody who can gain inspiration and insight to fuel the growth of all their endeavors. Second, he wanted to create a way to help all of Wal-Mart s 1.5 million associates past, present and future learn, celebrate, preserve and strengthen the unique culture of their company.
With the unending string of titles being produced that trash all aspects of Wal-Mart s business practices, THE WAL*MART WAY is the ONLY title published in the last decade to not only give a true inside view of what made them so successful in the first place, but to also contend that their model should be the blueprint that all retailers should follow.
